DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages to be solved in the disclosure clearer, the following will describe embodiments in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
Touch control methods for traditional electronic products are mostly two-dimensional. A pressed position is determined for the input of a touch screen through horizontal and longitudinal coordinates. The flexibility of the control is limited. Therefore, to solve the existing problems, the disclosure provides an information input method and apparatus for a touch screen.
Embodiment One
Referring to FIG. 1, the embodiment one of the disclosure provides an information input method for a touch screen, which includes the steps 101 to 103 as follows.
In step 101, a contact parameter and a contact position between an object and a touch screen are acquired. Herein the contact parameter at least includes: a pressure value exerted on the touch screen by the object and a contact area between the object and the touch screen.
The object may be a finger of a user or a touch screen input pen, for example.
The contact area and the contact position may be collected by a touch chip, and a pressure value may be collected by means of a pressure sensor.
In another embodiment, the pressure value is a maximum pressure value exerted on the touch screen by the object during a process of the object clicking on and departing from the touch screen. And the contact area is a maximum contact area between the object and the touch screen during a process of the object clicking on and departing from the touch screen. Usually, the pressure value exerted on the touch screen by the user in a single operation process or the contact area in contact with the touch screen is gradually changed and is a variable. Therefore, a maximum value is used to determine the values of two parameters, so as to avoid difficulty in determining the value of the variable.
In step 102, according to the contact parameter and the contact position, a corresponding operation instruction is generated.
The operation instruction is used to instruct a corresponding control to display a certain character on the control, and in a one-touch operation of the user, the contact position is constant, and there may be multiple contact parameters, so each contact parameter may determine one operation instruction. For example, for an input method application, different operation instructions may be made to correspond to different input characters. When a control corresponds to at least two characters, the user can select a corresponding character by a single input operation.
In step 103, A corresponding operation is executed according to the operation instruction.
In the above embodiment of the disclosure, a contact parameter and a contact position between an object and a touch screen are acquired, and a corresponding operation instruction is generated according to the contact parameter and the contact position, so that a three-dimensional touch control is achieved. A corresponding character of a control containing two or more characters may be selected by means of a single input operation, and the process is simple and convenient. And moreover, the disclosure enables a plurality of characters to reuse one control, such that the area of the control can be increased, the occurrence of misoperation is reduced, the input speed is increased, and the restriction of two-dimensional input is solved.
Embodiment Two
Referring to FIG. 2, the embodiment two of the disclosure provides an information input method for a touch screen, which includes the steps 201 to 204 as follows.
In step 201, a contact parameter and a contact position between an object and a touch screen are acquired, and the contact parameter at least includes: a pressure value exerted on the touch screen by the object and a contact area between the object and the touch screen.
In another embodiment, the pressure value is a maximum pressure value exerted on the touch screen by the object during a process of the object clicking on and departing from the touch screen, and the contact area is a maximum contact area between the object and the touch screen during a process of the object clicking on and departing from the touch screen.
In step 202, a control is determined from a plurality of controls according to coordinates of the contact position, and each control corresponds to two or more characters.
In step 203, a preset pressure threshold and a preset contact area threshold corresponding to the determined control are acquired.
In step 204, an operation instruction instructing the control to display the corresponding characters is generated according to the contact parameter and the preset pressure threshold as well as the preset contact area threshold.
In the above embodiment of the disclosure, a corresponding control is determined according to coordinates of a contact position, and a corresponding operation instruction is generated by comparing a pressure value in a contact parameter with a preset pressure threshold and comparing a contact area with a preset contact area threshold. The operation instruction is generated by combining three parameters namely the coordinates of the contact position, the pressure value exerted on a touch screen by an object and the contact area between the object and the touch screen, so that a three-dimensional touch control is achieved, and a more intuitive and rapid experience is brought to a user.
Embodiment Three
Referring to FIG. 3, the embodiment three of the disclosure provides an information input method for a touch screen, which includes the steps 301 to 306 as follows.

In step 302, a control is determined from a plurality of controls according to coordinates of the contact position, and each control corresponds to two or more characters.
In step 303, a preset pressure threshold and a preset contact area threshold corresponding to the determined control are acquired.
In step 304, when the pressure value exerted on the touch screen by the object is smaller than a pressure threshold and the contact area is smaller than a contact area threshold, a first instruction is generated, the first instruction being used to instruct the control to display a first character; or,
in step 305, when the pressure value exerted on the touch screen by the object is smaller than a pressure threshold and the contact area is greater than or equal to a contact area threshold, a second instruction is generated, the second instruction being used to instruct the control to display a second character; or,
in step 306, when the pressure value exerted on the touch screen by the object is greater than or equal to a pressure threshold, a third instruction is generated, the third instruction being used to instruct the control to display a third character.
In the above embodiment of the disclosure, firstly, a corresponding control is determined according to coordinates of a contact position point. If there are two or more characters in the space, a pressure value and a pressure threshold are compared, and a contact area and a contact area threshold are compared. If the pressure value is smaller than the pressure threshold and the contact area is smaller than the contact area threshold, a first instruction for instructing the control to display a first character is generated. If the pressure value is smaller than the pressure threshold and the contact area is greater than or equal to the contact area threshold, a second instruction for instructing the control to display a second character is generated. When the pressure value is greater than or equal to the pressure threshold, a third instruction for instructing the control to display a third character is generated. For example, for an input method application, when a control contains upper and lower cases of a letter (the upper and lower cases are the first and second characters on the control, respectively) or upper and lower cases of a letter and a punctuation mark (the upper and lower cases and the punctuation mark are the first character, the second character, and the third character on the control, respectively), different pressure values and contact areas correspond to different characters, and a corresponding character may be selected by a single input operation, the process is simple and convenient, the area of the input control can be increased, and the occurrence of misoperation is reduced.
